NHTSA Complaint #10875644 — 2011 TOYOTA TACOMA

IT'S BEEN ABOUT 8 MONTHS SINCE I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED OF THEIR RECALL E02 ON THE REAR SPRINGS. I WAS CALLED IN FOR AN INSPECTION TODAY (6/21/2016) AND TOLD THE REAR SPRINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ANOTHER 6-8 WEEKS BEFORE THE PARTS WOULD BE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRUCK WOULD BE FIXED. WHY DOES YOUR AGENCY ALLOW SAFETY RECALLS TO DRAG OUT FOR MONTHS? WHY ARE THERE NO PENALTIES ON THE MANUFACTURERS TO GIVE THEM AN INCENTIVE TO FINISH A SAFETY RECALL IN A TIMELY FASHION?
